Any R/T Classic owners out there remove their heritage side stripes?

[Hal H]

You're welcome - I felt the same way - on the bright(er) colors, the 'stripe-less' cars look like something's missing.

I had the one-piece hood stripe and '70 mid-body side stripes applied before I took delivery of the car.

I like the look of the late 60s/70s graphics, and Chrysler certainly had am identity/look on the performance models of the era, with different hoods and graphics that set them apart from the 'standard/ base' models - its a heritage thing for me. Plus there are the high performance / high impact colors -

We've been in the (long) era of similar looking gray, black, silver cars that don't look all that different from another...I like a different approach.

I am not sure the functional scoops do anything. They are not high enough to really get air pressure and there is no duct work to push the air to the intake. The TA hood has a kit to redirect the intake air to the air box. That is much closer to functional in my book.

Cervini has the Ram Air Kit that makes your nostrils functional, just like the T/A kit, just don't have the new hood and scoop. That K&N CAI is nice too that comes with it. I can tell a difference, not major, but you'll feel the smoothness getting up to speed and through 4k to 6k rpm.

The Stripes are what make my R/T "Classic" IMO. I like how that with the Matte Black stripes on the Pitch Black paint, they look like Ghost stripes in low light conditions. Here's an example of both

That is good to know. Not a bad price either if it comes with a full cai.

I really debate taking off my stripes and putting on the 1970 side stripes. They look so good and cut the car in half. But the 71 style look good too.
I really dig the new envy wheels too. I see some for sale local but waiting for the price to go down.

Pics with and without. Still debating on what to do myself. Currently without. I had Rider Graphix create a custom set of stripes for me but I have yet to move forward with it due to my admiration of the car without any stripes at all. Still a beauty!

I think the crease in the body just under the cabin is a perfect spot for stripes. Mine was a base R/T, I bought the classic stripes to replace the whiskers and just added rear extensions. For a lighter color car, I think it needs the stripes to break up that broad body. Black cars don't seem to need it as much.

I have the HEMI orange with the white stripes and that's what drew me to this car. I would not think of removing the stripes.

All de– striped and ready to rock!
